That is my opinion too. The Rats are going to stack the deck and bring about another 1948-1994 type of period.

Lots of lakes in Conroe, which is a lovely small town about 30 mi north of Houston.

You can not threaten the government with the assertion of state’s rights and at the same time hold your hand out. The latter requires the people in the state to bend over and grab their ankles; the former would allow you to hold your heads up and at least be the masters of your own destinies.

I know, that’s what make me so mad. A lot of the smaller banks in Texas are not taking part in the stimulus, and are using sound judgement on loans, therefore not loosing money. But Perry decided he wanted the money. More than likely to build that stupid super highway form Mexico to Canada. Then he could employ more illegals to build that road. We need to get rid of that traitor. From what I’ve heard, Oklahoma wants no part of that deal and is getting pretty tough on the illegals. I’m moving to Oklahoma, sure is pretty country on the eastern side.

Oklahoma has good folks but we have room for more so come on up. There’s a bill in congress to prohibit the feds from building that road. I think it’ll pass.
